The European seminar organised by MCL and EFAL studied the lack of employment opportunities for women in rural areas as a decisive factor in depopulation. It was held in the city of Matera, in the south of Italy, with the participation of specialists from several countries.

Fifty people responsible for training workers and union members met at the Black Tulip Hotel, in Vila Nova de Gaia (Oporto, Portugal) from February 13 to 16. The seminar was promoted by CFTL (Centro de Formação e Tempos Livres) and BASE-FUT, with support from EZA and the EU, within the framework of IPCM activities.

The participants in the Fidestra/IPCM/EZA weekly visited the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia and attended the international mass on Saturday, February 1.
